Role Description The Industrial Engineer improves sewing operations across multiple manufacturing sites, both domestic and international, as well as both company owned and 3rd party contractors, by increasing operator efficiency, reducing WIP, improving quality, and lowering manufacturing costs using proven industrial engineering and lean methods. This role monitors production performance by operation, implements process changes to increase efficiency using TSS (Toyota Sewing System) for modular manufacturing, conducts time studies and sets production rates, and delivers routine daily/weekly/monthly production reporting in support of the ISO 9001 quality management system. The position is remote and requires frequent travel to manufacturing locations to observe processes, validate standards, and drive consistent execution. Responsibilities - Monitor production levels by operation and implement process changes to increase operator efficiency using TSS (Toyota Sewing System) principles for modular manufacturing. - Identify bottlenecks, imbalance, and flow constraints within sewing modules/lines and recommend practical countermeasures to improve throughput and reduce WIP. - Apply apparel/uniform industry best practices (e.g., standard work, modular staffing, line balancing, point-of-use staging) to improve consistency and performance. - Conduct production analysis and time studies and set manufacturing production rates/standards. - Maintain and update engineered standards (e.g., SMV/SAM concepts, method validation, allowance logic) used for planning, costing, and performance measurement in sewing operations. - Support continuous improvement by evaluating methods/motions to reduce non-value-added work and improve ergonomics without compromising quality. - Perform data analysis using the ISO 9001 quality management system and produce daily/weekly/monthly reports on production to be shared with plant management. - Extract data from the production control program/system and maintain accurate data entry as needed to ensure reliable reporting and analysis. - Use data to identify trends and root causes (efficiency loss, downtime, rework drivers) and translate insights into improvement actions. - Partner with Operations and Quality to reduce defects and variation through process controls, operator method adherence, and prevention-focused improvements consistent with ISO expectations. - Support manufacturing cost reduction through improved methods, reduced rework/scrap, better utilization, and increased throughput. - Ensure compliance with safety guidelines and governmental regulations; promote safe work practices aligned to production floor realities (equipment, workstation layout, material flow). - Serve as a site safety advocate as assigned, supporting OSHA-aligned practices and safe process design. - Travel to multiple manufacturing sites (domestic & international, internally, & 3rd party vendors) to observe processes, validate standards, and drive consistent execution of best practices across operations. - Collaborate with plant leadership and cross-functional partners to implement improvements and sustain gains through training on standard methods (non-supervisory; improvement-focused). - Evaluate and recommend apparel manufacturing technologies and workflow changes that reduce cost and improve quality. - Other duties as assigned consistent with industrial engineering support for apparel sewing operations. Qualifications - Strong industrial engineering capability in apparel/uniform sewing manufacturing (flow, modular operations, standard work, bottleneck analysis). - Working knowledge of TSS (Toyota Sewing System) or similar modular manufacturing systems. - Working knowledge of ISO 9001 and how reporting/metrics support a quality management system. - Skilled in time study techniques, setting standard rates, and improving methods in a production environment. - Proficiency working with production control data and generating recurring performance reporting (daily/weekly/monthly). - Strong communication and stakeholder management skills for remote work and multi-site influence; able to translate data into action plans.
